Top Purdue Prospects to Watch for 2023 NFL Draft

His outstanding size and length makes Trice one of the most exciting cornerback prospects in the draft. He is best when he uses his length and physicality as a press zone cornerback. Trice has ball skills too, which will only help his draft stock. As long as Trice returns to his form pre-injury, he’ll be a very high draft pick. With a good Senior Bowl and Combine, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Trice sneak into the first round.

On film, O’Connell plays like an old-school quarterback. He is strictly a pocket passer but O’Connell has incredible accuracy. His ball placement is fantastic and he always hits receivers in the right spot. O’Connell can also throw with touch and his arm strength is good enough for the next level. Right now, O’Connell projects as a solid to high-end backup who could be a spot starter. That kind of value will get a player like O’Connell drafted early on day three.

A good-sized tight end, Durham gets the most out of his ability but he will struggle to be anything more than a number three tight end at the next level. Durham is a strong player who excels as a blocker but doesn’t offer much as a receiver. He’ll be a possession receiver only, who can’t separate or provide much after the catch. Durham is a late day three player who could stick on a roster.

The physicality and toughness Graham possesses will intrigue teams. He has good enough size for the next level but isn’t a great athlete. Graham isn’t a huge playmaker but he does his job consistently. Graham’s tape suggests he’ll be a draft pick in the mid to late rounds.
